Month: April 2017

When I make new designs I often make several cards using the same theme and flowers and this one is another card I made using the lovely lace edge die from Spellbinders, and I have teamed it with a beautiful embossing folder from Anna Griffin. The lovely sparkle on the roses comes from Rajni Chawla’s Frosting Powder. It is an amazing product that totally transforms your flowers and is currently being released worldwide.

I have used a pre-cut 7” x 5” card base but you can cut your own using a piece of white 10” x 7” cardstock and scoring at 5” along the long side and fold in half for your card.

Die cut the lace edge out from the shimmer cardstock and then emboss using the instructions for your die cut machine. Adhere to the bottom edge of the card. Cut a piece of shimmer cardstock at 7” x 2 ½” and adhere to the top of the card. Cut a strip of shimmer card 7” x ¾” and emboss using the lattice embossing folder. Adhere to the card as shown and line each edge with a pearl strip.

To make the sentiment frame die cut the small frame from the Devine Eloquence set and then emboss the die for a textured finish. Adhere to the centre of the card using a double layer of foam squares to give height to go over the pearls. Add the peelcraft sentiment.

To make the flowers stamp with Coral Rose ink, sponge the colour over the stamped images and then die cut. Shape the roses using the Deluxe Shaping kit. Once flowers are completed spray with spray adhesive and sprinkle Crystal glitter over them for a sparkly finish.

To make the leaves stamp using versamark and emboss with the Aged Ivory embossing powder. Sponge with Bamboo Leaves and then die cut out. Shape the leaves with the Deluxe Shaping kit.

Trim the leaves and add to the top right corner and bottom left corner using a combination of Dries Clear adhesive and foam squares. Add the flowers as shown.

Happy Crafting

Today I am featuring a card using lovely cream shimmer cardstock and sparkling roses. I love cream shimmer card and it goes so well with pearls. Add some sparkly pink roses and you have a very pretty and romantic card. I have just got a Gemini die cutting machine and I was playing around with some die cutting and embossing with Spellbinders dies and I was very happy with the result.

Today I thought I would try and do something different with the Classic Rose stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations. Roses come in all shapes and sizes and this stamp and die set is just so great at making a wide range of flowers.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 6” x 12” and score along the long side at 6” to make a 6” x 6” card base.

Cut a piece of pink patterned paper 6” x 2 ½” and adhere to the bottom of the card base. Cut a piece of white cardstock 6” x 5 ½” and using the lace edge of the border basics die cut the edge and adhere to the top of the card base over the pink patterned paper.

Die cut the outer eyelet oval in white cardstock. Die cut the Decorative Oval and adhere to the eyelet oval. Using foam tape adhere to the base card as shown.

To make the leaves stamp the images with Northern Pine. Sponge the leaves with Bamboo Leaves and touch the ends of the leaves with Rhubarb Stalk. Die cut the leaves and shape using the Deluxe Shaping Kit. Adhere to the base of the oval with Art Glitter Dries Clear adhesive and foam strips.

To make the flowers stamp with Brilliance Orchid ink and sponge the centres with Canteloupe ink before die cutting out. Sponge the edges with the Orchid ink both front and back of the flowers and sponge Canteloupe on the centres of the smallest flowers. Shape the flowers using the Deluxe Shaping kit and put together using Art Glitter Dries Clear adhesive making different size flowers. Adhere to the front of the card as shown.

Stamp the Thinking of You Sentiment in Tuxedo Black on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. Adhere to the top of the card with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner in New Zealand and today I am featuring a card that I have made from the Blushing Rose collection from Heartfelt Creations. I love the combination of purple and yellow and the Classic Rose flowers compliment the papers beautifully.

Cut a piece of cream cardstock at 12” x 6”, score and crease at 6” along the long side to create a card base 6” x 6”. Cut the 6” x 6” panel from the patterned papers, sponge around the edges with the Concord ink and adhere to the base card.

Die cut the two tags with the Luggage and Tags die, sponge the edges with Dusty Concord ink. Place over the side of the postcard image on the paper using foam tape for some dimension.
